Vad händer med Uagen Zlepe i Banks "Look to Windward"?

5

Historien om Uagen Zlepe kan vara en litterär enhet i" Look to Windward ", men hans öde är oupplöst i min läsning. Han uppnår transport till Masaq och sedan, närmast,

he is dead, ostensibly killed by a Chelgrian, based upon the description in one of the final chapters.

Är det säkert att anta att chelgrierna upptäcker sin kunskap och

killed him to prevent transmission to the Culture? My other theory involves Ziller, who states that he will "bite the throat out" of anyone attempting to introduce Ziller to Quilan.

Zlepe dödades av en Chelgrian-agent när han kom till Beidite-enheten Critoletli. Den korta beskrivningen av hans angripare (" -fången och den plötsliga riven smärtan, det stora vita furriga ansiktet fyller plötsligt hans syn" ) matchar flera av Chelgrians vi vet var inblandade i tomten, mest i synnerhet den "tunga" (Eweirl) som Estodian tog med mötet med Quilan under sin träning. Hans vita päls nämns inte mindre än åtta gånger i boken.

The bulky-looking male dressed as a clerk had been about to strike; he had rocked back on his haunches and his sleeves were rolled back to reveal tightly muscled arms, though his claws were only half exposed. There was a radiant, almost feral look on his white-furred face that lasted for a moment and even brightened for an instant as Quilan turned to confront him but then he glanced at the Estodien and relaxed, sitting back and lowering his arms and his head in what might have been a bow.

I slutändan var Zlepe väldigt oskadlig (signalerar sin plats flera tiotals dagar före hans ankomst) och det faktum att en kulturmedborgare som oväntat var nära Chelgriers första vapentest och sedan försökte komma ut ur airsphere på högt hastighet skulle ha lockat mycket uppmärksamhet. Observera att angriparen inte kan ha varit Ziller (!) Som han var på Masaq vid attacken.

—Some of the frozen liquid taken from the edges of the wound which the creature suffered upon its neck region has provided biological instruction set information which tends to indicate that the woundinflicting agent may have been an individual of the species known as the Lesser Reviled.

—That is interesting. Their name was earlier the Chelgrians, or the Chel, before the outrage that befell the Sansemin occurred. To what level of completeness was the analysis of the human form which was found to be implicit in the creature that we see before us taken?
